Apple TV is serving up laughs with its latest comedy, The Dink. This upcoming film tells the story of a tennis star who begrudgingly embraces pickleball after an injury, and it’s hitting the streaming service next month. Why does it matter? Because it’s got a stellar cast, including Jake Johnson, Mary Steenburgen, and even a cameo by Ben Stiller!
Set to premiere on July 24, The Dink follows Dusty Boyd, a washed-up tennis prodigy played by Jake Johnson. After an injury sidelines his tennis career, Dusty finds himself reluctantly trying pickleball, only to discover he actually enjoys it. With the support of his partner Candace, played by Mary Steenburgen, Dusty battles personal demons and club rivalries, including a showdown with his childhood nemesis, Andy Roddick.
The film is produced by Ben Stiller, known for hits like Dodgeball, and the trailer promises a similar vein of sports comedy. If you’re into quirky sports stories, this might be a fun addition to your watchlist. And while you’re at it, check out Apple TV’s latest features for an enhanced viewing experience.
